Talamati Bushveld Camp
A SANParks self-catering camp.
Spread evenly, in a long line along the N'waswitsontso River, are secluded family cottages. Part of Talamati is also a private facility, only allowing residents access to the camp. Talamati Bushveld Camp is within close proximity to a larger rest camp, with guests being allowed the use of the larger camp's amenities and shops. The Xitsonga word Talamati translates as 'lots of water, ironic when considering the river is actually mostly dry. The clay soil in the riverbed traps reservoirs of underground water, and tributaries flowing into the lush vegetation. The camp itself is located in an open valley, maximising game viewing opportunities for both grazers and their ever-present predators.
We do not take rest camp bookings. Camps are booked directly with SANParks, where current tariffs are published.

Activities & Facilities
Talamati Camp offers adventure in the form of safari game drives, all under the supervision of well informed and keen professional field guides. Important to note: children under the age of six years old are not permitted on the safari game vehicle.
Facilities at the camp include: Information at the reception area, public telephones, a mini-shop at reception which provides wood and phone cards, but no food such as meat, electrical points for appliances in the rooms, communal boma (braai, barbecue area) in camp, Muzandzeni and Nhlanguleni Picnic areas, and a bird hide in the camp, and individual boma areas for each accommodation unit.
The luxury alternative
If you would rather not self-cater.
We do not take rest camp bookings. What our safari specialists do arrange is the private reserves of the Greater Kruger: private lodges where expert guiding, meals and game drives are included, and nothing is left to the camp kitchen. We look after international travellers and SADC residents alike, and many lodges offer reduced SADC rates.
